How to check if there is a Section 25 right to extend reserved

The attorneys have requested us to confirm if a Section 25 right of extension is reserved on our scheme. How do we determine this?

A Section 25 right of extension can be reserved by the Developer when he starts developing the scheme – this basically means that he will have the right to add sections at a later date.

The best way to determine if such a right has been reserved is to check the first page of the sectional plans of the scheme.
